The challenge of running

Movement, one of the basic human needs, has become a great challenge for all age groups in contemporary society. Many studies showed correlation between physical inactivity and many noncontagious diseases, while physical activity, especially natural movements such as walking and running, proved being useful in maintenance of optimal psycho-physical health status. Walking, the movement learnt in the earliest life stage, and running, a somewhat more complex aerobic activity, are irreplaceable forms of physical exercise in almost all models of recreational sport due to their applicability, effectiveness and simplicity. Many recreational associations started different projects with the health promotion goal. One of them is the so called “running school” which makes popular training models available to almost everyone. A great number of running schools that are ever more popular throughout the world is evident in the increasing numbers of recreational runners. It is exactly this type of physical activity promotion and awareness raising on its usefulness that make running schools top recreational projects in Croatia as well.
